Handle
Methods
Method Reference
name() -> &str
The net name this handle was created with.
read() -> Result<f64>
Read the junction temperature in degrees Celsius.
f64 — degrees Celsius. There is no Fahrenheit or Kelvin variant;
convert in your test if you need one.
Examples
Assert a part stays inside its thermal envelope under load
Supported Hardware
Any thermocouple front-end the box exposes as athermocouple role net. The
amplifier and junction type are fixed when the net is created, not chosen per call.
Notes
- Thermocouples settle slowly. A reading taken immediately after a thermal step is the sensor’s history, not the part’s temperature — sample over time.
- Cold-junction compensation happens on the instrument. The value returned is the compensated temperature.
